		<title>Newborn Baby H</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Newborn sessions are my absolute FAVORITE!  Of course it&#8217;s awesome that I have the opportunity to get my &#8220;baby fix.&#8221;  But the best part is enjoying (and preserving for the new parents) all those details that often get lost in those first few lazy-hazy days.  &#8230;.those itty-bitty fingers and toes&#8230;the squeaks that come with baby yawns and stretches. It is truly something special to be invited into the home of a new family.  There is a calmness that permeates the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Edwards &amp; Ehrlich Combo Session</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s better than a Mini Session on a glorious fall day?  A Double-Mini Session on a glorious fall day! I absolutely love when the sunlight streams through the remaining leaves on the autumn trees&#8211;casting the warm golden tones that go hand in hand with apple cider, pumpkin pies, and evenings by the fireplace.  We were particularly blessed to have a warm sunny day when the Edwards and Ehrlich families braved the perils of I-495 to travel to me in Leesburg.

		<title>The Adorable Mr. C</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dear, old friend (old because we&#8217;ve known each other 16 years&#8230;not old, old) recently gave birth to her third little munchkin!  The adorable Mr. C was oh-so-sleepy when I first arrived, but boy-oh-boy does he love the sound of his older sister&#8217;s voice! The itty-bitty-ness of newborns never ceases to amaze me!  I could sit and stare at those little fingers and toes for hours on end (and believe me, when my boys were newbies I did just that)!

		<title>Red Velvet for MY family!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as I love photography, I also love cooking.  It brings my heart such joy to cook with my boys.  When children are involved in the process of preparing food they are far less likely to pick at and reject their food.  Cooking sessions provide excellent opportunities for my boys to practice taking turns.  And, the teacher in me loves that a little time spent in the kitchen can provide a variety of educational enrichment&#8211;Math! &#8230;all those measurements, reading [...]]]></description>

		<title>A &#8220;Kindful&#8221; Kid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a little sneak peek at a project I&#8217;m working on for Valentine&#8217;s Day. How much do I love this kid!? I was telling the boys today that when they are teenagers they won&#8217;t want me to hug and kiss them anymore.  They were both shocked that I would say such a thing and vehemently denied that would ever happen.  Brad then went on to say, &#8220;Mom, I&#8217;ll still give you hugs and kisses when I&#8217;m older because I&#8217;m going [...]]]></description>

		<title>Project 365 &#8211; January Favorites</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;ve had a revelation &#8212; as Brad likes to quote Gru from Despicable Me &#8212; &#8220;LIGHTBULB!&#8221; While I am loving the photographic journey of documenting EVERY day of our lives for the &#8220;Project 365,&#8221; I am struggling to post my progress with any degree of consistency. And that drives me NUTS! So, I am going to borrow an idea from a fellow 365&#8242;ing photographer. She brilliantly writes only ONE &#8220;Project 365&#8243; post at the end of the month and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hue &amp; Texture Journey – Week 7 &amp; 8</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Super behind in blogging. Fortunately my various creative projects are still on track&#8230;it&#8217;s just the task of getting them up for display that has stalled out just a bit. I should be able to get caught up tomorrow in between the Super Bowl commercials. Week 6 of Marta Locklear&#8216;s hue &#38; texture assignment was Blue &#38; Nubby. As much as I love blue this was a difficult challenge for me&#8211;I just don&#8217;t have enough nubby blueness around the house! Time [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Quest…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have started a &#8220;Project 365,&#8221; just as many other photographers do at this time of year. It is an exercise in creativity&#8211;taking a picture EVERY day for a year. A picture must be taken regardless of sick kids, piled-up laundry, or overbooked client sessions. It is a method of sharpening and honing one&#8217;s photography skills&#8211;after all practice does make perfect! The trick is to find and maintain the creativity without falling into a monotonous rut&#8230; to document day-to-day life [...]]]></description>

		<title>Winter Inspiration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently signed up for a workshop in April that I am so excited about!  The PSD Experience promises to be a totally unique, hands-on learning experience.  The photographers that will be conducting this workshop are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!  While exploring their respective websites, I&#8217;ve developed a bit of a photog-crush on Marta Locklear.  Her work is just absolutely luscious! Marta has challenged her blog-readers to a brilliant exercise in creativity&#8211;perfect for beating the winter doldrums and spurring inspiration.  Each week Marta [...]]]></description>
